This is not in any way meant to be a complete survey on positive curvature. Rather it is a short essay on the fascinating changes in the landscape surrounding positive curvature. In particular, details and many results and references are…
We present the proceedings of the lectures given at the 2008 Helmholtz International Summer School Heavy Quark Physics at the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics in Dubna. In two lectures we present recent results from the existing…
Spectral features in the CMB energy spectrum contain a wealth of information about the physical processes in the early Universe, z < 2 x 10^6. The CMB spectral distortions are complementary to all other probes of cosmology. In fact, most of…
We show that if the field seeding the formation of the cosmic structures is a dynamically arising bosonic condensate, the features we observe in the CMB might be interpreted as a manifestation of its compositeness.
Cosmology is passing through a golden phase of rapid advance. The cosmology workshop at ICGC-2004 attracted a large number of research contributions from diverse topics of cosmology. I attempt to classify and summarize the research work and…
We prove the cleanness of cuspidal character sheaves in the few cases where it was previously unknown.
This is an expository article/encyclopedia entry explaining the history, techniques, and central results in the field of smooth ergodic theory.
In this paper, I will describe the features of the numerical code CUBA, aimed at the solution of the radiative transfer equation in a cosmological context. CUBA will be soon available for public use at the URL…
This is an expository article about the recent results on the relation between the naturality problem of quantum cohomology and birational geometry. We give a short survey on Li-Ruan's results. Some conjecture-proposals are discussed.
A brief introduction to the theory and phenomenology of soft interactions is given, focusing on total and elastic cross sections and multiparticle production.

A compact overview of the status of CMB anisotropy results and their cosmological interpretation. Section headings: Introduction; CMB Spectrum; Description of CMB Anisotropies; Cosmological Parameters; Physics of Anisotropies; Current…
We review the current status of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, including a brief discussion of some basic theoretical aspects as well as a summary of anisotropy detections and CMB experiments. We focus on the description…
A review of b physics results from the LEP experiments and SLD is presented. Emphasis is given to the determination of the |Vcb| and |Vub| and to the study of B meson oscillations, which yield bounds on the unitary triangle.
A concise overview of the interesting recent developments in kaon phyiscs discussed at KAON 2007 is presented.
In this note we briefly review some recent results of the authors on the topological and geometrical properties of 3-cosymplectic manifolds.
This document presents eight recent and new analyses from the LHCb experiment covering results on CKM angle $\gamma$ and high precision measurements on charm mixing parameters. In addition, the latest CP violation measurements in charm and…
This article is a written and modified version of a talk presented at the conference `A Century of Cosmology' held at San Servolo, Venice, Italy, in August 2007. The talk focuses on some of the cosmology history leading to the discovery and…
In the present work we recall and extend the results of previous work concerning the time evolution of open quantum systems. We show how general properties of such systems are related to their structure properties, those of their…
We intend to show how fundamental science is drawn from the patterns in the temperature and polarization fields of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, and thus to motivate the field of CMB research. We discuss the field's…
